EdRise Revolutionizes Academic Support for FIRST COLONIAL HIGH Middle Schoolers with 24/7 AI Tutoring Platform

**VIRGINIA BEACH, VA – October 7, 2025** – EdRise.io, a leader in AI-powered educational technology, today announced the official launch of its groundbreaking AI tutoring platform for all 1808 students at FIRST COLONIAL HIGH in Virginia Beach, VA. This initiative immediately provides middle schoolers with unparalleled access to personalized, on-demand academic assistance, embodying EdRise's core mission to democratize quality education through cutting-edge artificial intelligence. The platform’s advanced AI tutor, "Alan," is now available to help students navigate the complexities of their coursework, offering support around the clock and fostering a new era of accessible learning. The transition to middle school presents unique challenges for pre-teens at FIRST COLONIAL HIGH. Students are often grappling with increasingly complex subjects like pre-algebra, advanced reading comprehension, and demanding science projects, all while managing multiple teachers for the first time. In Virginia Beach, families face average tutoring costs ranging from $50 to $150 per hour, a significant financial barrier that often limits access to much-needed support. Furthermore, busy family schedules, extensive extracurricular commitments, and the need for immediate homework help during evening hours or early mornings often leave students struggling to find timely assistance. These diverse learning styles also require personalized approaches that traditional, one-size-fits-all tutoring models frequently cannot provide. EdRise’s Alan AI tutor offers a revolutionary solution specifically tailored to meet the needs of FIRST COLONIAL HIGH students and their families:

• Instant 24/7 Availability: Unlike traditional tutors with limited hours, Alan is always on call. Whether it's midnight for that urgent math homework problem or 6 AM for a last-minute test review, Alan provides immediate, expert guidance precisely when it’s needed most. This flexibility is crucial for busy middle schoolers and their families.
• Comprehensive Subject Coverage: From foundational pre-algebra and geometry concepts to refining essay writing skills and understanding complex scientific principles, Alan covers a vast array of subjects, ensuring students receive support across their entire curriculum.
• Adaptive Learning Technology: Powered by EdRise’s proprietary Pristine AI™ technology, Alan intelligently learns each student's individual strengths, weaknesses, and preferred learning styles. This allows the platform to provide customized explanations, practice problems, and learning pathways that truly resonate with the student, enhancing comprehension and retention.
• Text Message Support: Recognizing the communication preferences of today’s students, Alan offers convenient text message support. Students can simply text their questions to 1-424-444-4313 for quick, on-the-go help between classes, during study hall, or whenever a question arises.
• Parent-Friendly Pricing: At an accessible price point of just $15 per month, EdRise costs significantly less than a single hour of traditional tutoring in Virginia Beach. This affordability ensures that high-quality academic support is no longer a luxury but an equitable resource for all families.
• Safe & Secure: EdRise is a FERPA-compliant platform, guaranteeing the highest standards of student privacy and data security. Parents can rest assured that their children's information is protected while they benefit from a safe learning environment.
